In the middle a field in a remote area of Kansas, a series of large chalk formations rise from the ground. Surrounded by miles of flat farmland, Monument Rocks provide a striking contrast. On a hot summer day, the air lies still and heavy over the rocks. Low lying wildflowers provide occasional bursts of colour and the only sounds of life are the whirring grasshoppers that jump, startled, as you walk past.

Thank you to Giselle Whiteaker of Giselle in Motion for permission to re-produce the image.

Watching these monument rocks is a great experience in itself. Hardly anyone would like to miss the chance to see these rocks during their trip to Kansas.
